Chapter 80: The Second Sun!
Chapter 81, Section 80: The Second Sun!
This medium-sized island, located far southeast of Elbaf, has been completely reduced to a lump of iron repeatedly forged by two monsters.
The giant of light wielded various enormous weapons shaped like gold, each strike accompanied by a high-temperature shockwave that tore through the air.
Wherever it passed, the ground did not crack, but instead melted and vaporized, leaving behind deep ravines and churning lava.
Rocks then displayed his terrifying physical skills and domineering presence.
His figure flashed and weaved through the sky filled with golden weapons and the giant's ferocious attacks, his speed leaving behind afterimages.
The longsword in Rocks' hand, wrapped in his supreme domineering aura, became indestructible.
Each of his strikes precisely targeted the weak points in the giant's attack, cleaving through the scorching impact or shattering the golden weapon that was close at hand.
Occasionally, he would withstand some of the Titan's area-of-effect attacks, using the impact to adjust his distance before launching a fierce slash at the Titan's body.
Each successful strike leaves a sizable wound on the Giant of Light. Although these wounds are quickly repaired by the influx of gold, they are enough to prove that Rocks' attacks pose a real threat to Oro.
The two fought their way from one end of the island to the other, leaving a trail of devastation in their wake. The land was either assimilated into gold, swallowed by lava, or torn apart into bottomless canyons by terrifying strikes.
The area of this medium-sized island shrank visibly during the fierce battle between the two monsters.
The two fought for a long time without a clear victor. After an unknown amount of time, Lox's patience seemed to finally run out. He widened the distance once more and let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth: "Abyss Curse!!!"
He gripped the sword with both hands, frantically channeling all of his Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki into the blade.
The longsword emitted a humming sound, and the air around the blade completely distorted and collapsed, as if forming a small black hole, emitting a terrifying suction force and oppressive feeling that devoured everything.
This will be a strike from Rocks, one that he won't hold back!
Faced with this earth-shattering attack, Ouro inside the Giant of Light also felt unprecedented pressure and—excitement!
The giant made a gripping gesture with both hands, and an exaggeratedly large golden horse-slaying sword materialized.
Auro also wrapped his powerful Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki around it, with dark red lightning and jet-black air currents spiraling and intertwining.
Furthermore, the gold that makes up the giant and the sword has reached a critical point under Oro's full power!
The gold atoms inside them vibrate, rub, and collide at unprecedented speeds, releasing unimaginable light and heat.
The blade of the horse-slaying sword shone with an indescribable, intense white light, as if it contained the power of a star.
The seas surrounding the island were completely boiling!
The sea surface was churning up large amounts of bubbles and steam!
"Golden Skyline!!!"
Oro swung his saber with all his might, and his hoarse shout became magnificent and grand due to the solid conduction.
In the next instant, the two top-tier Conqueror's Haki, one reigning supreme and the other domineering and incomparable, collided fiercely!
"boom--!!!"
A terrifying and domineering aura suddenly erupted!
The billowing steam surrounding the island was swept away in an instant!
At the center of the clash of power, even space itself froze and distorted, forming a massive, visible spherical force field.
Inside the force field, the light was dim and matter was disintegrating.
The force field generated a terrifying attraction, forcibly pulling in countless shattered rocks, molten gold, and even seawater from the distant ocean!
Even the thick clouds high in the sky were forcibly torn down by this force!
Both Aurora and Rocks gritted their teeth and pushed their power to its peak, engaging in a pure clash of Haki with their giant swords and pirate swords.
Neither of them was willing to back down an inch!
Stalemate!
A suffocating stalemate!
Oro could sense that the gold atoms that made up the Zhanmadao were still working frantically and releasing energy under his urging, but the opponent's "Abyss Curse" seemed to be an endless abyss, as if it wanted to devour all his light!
Since that's the case—
Auro hardened his resolve, forcefully concentrating all his mental and physical energy, no longer satisfied with his current energy output.
He manipulated the gold that made up the horse-slaying sword, especially the gold atoms at the blade's edge, causing them to vibrate even more wildly at a frequency several times, even dozens of times, greater than before!
Work even harder!
Unleashing even more energy with frenzied abandon!
Not enough! Still not enough!
The energy release is not complete!
It can release even more!
there are more!
After a long battle, Oro, who was completely engrossed in the fight, desperately wanted to unleash the deeper energy within the gold atom!
He completely forgot to consider the consequences, forgot to control, and forgot that only the gold atom was under the control of the fruit's power, and that the energy released by the gold atom was beyond his control.
At this moment, all that Oro had left was the obsession with overwhelming his opponent.
He pushed his abilities even more frantically, trying to pry open the forbidden door to that microscopic world.
Until one extremely faint sound, imperceptible to the eardrums, yet seemingly a shattering sound resounding directly from the depths of his soul, suddenly appeared in Auro's perception.
Huh? What cracked?
Orona's mind, which had been consumed by the frenzy of battle, finally began to function sluggishly.
Oh, it seems like a gold atom has cracked.
Huh? Even gold atoms, which are extremely stable chemically, can crack?
Ah, it wasn't just a single gold atom that cracked.
It was the gold atoms at a tiny point on the blade that were working most intensely that, after reaching a certain critical value, underwent a chain reaction, causing the entire group—from the inside out—to crack apart.
and many more?
Atoms — splitting apart?
Is that correct?
This is totally wrong!!!
Auro was instantly jolted awake from his frenzied state of battle!
I#!!!!
A word from a past life suddenly exploded in Oro's mind!
In that instant—
Lox, on the other side, keenly sensed something was amiss.
He sensed that the yellow-haired boy opposite him, whose power had been surging like a volcanic eruption, suddenly became extremely unstable and disordered.
Immediately afterwards, his power output suddenly decreased significantly, even giving him the feeling that his opponent wanted to forcibly withdraw his power and turn around to run away.
Ha! Just a brat who talks big, as expected!
Hmph! Trying to escape? How naive!
Rocks sneered inwardly, eager to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to unleash his power once more and finish off this annoying golden giant along with the brat inside—
He saw the light.
It wasn't the same intense white light as before.
Rather—it is something indescribable, pure to the extreme, as if it existed since the beginning of time—
Light!
An endless stream of light erupted violently at the point where the blades of the Oro Zanpakuto and the Locusts longsword were about to collide, in a mere fraction of a second!
Devour everything!
On this day, the sky over Elbaf was clear and blue.
Everyone on the island will forever remember this soul-stirring scene—a second sun rising without warning at the edge of the horizon!
The light of that "second sun" even overshadowed the sun in the sky for a brief moment, turning the azure horizon into a white line.
P.S. In reality, the fission caused by blasting open gold atoms from the outside cannot initiate a chain reaction like that of uranium-235 and plutonium-239, and its energy density is also lower than that of these two elements.
The book depicts a group of gold atoms undergoing a collective fission from the inside out under the protagonist's control.
